, /PRNewswire/ -- The J.M. Smucker Co. (NYSE: SJM) today announced results for the first quarter ended July 31, 2025, of its 2026 fiscal year. Financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 reflect the divestiture of certain Sweet Baked Snacks value brands on March 3, 2025, and the divestiture of the Voortman® business on December 2, 2024. All comparisons are to the first quarter of the prior fiscal year, unless otherwise noted. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Net sales was $2.1 billion, a decrease of $11.8 million, or 1 percent. Net sales excluding the divestitures and foreign currency exchange increased 2 percent. Net loss per diluted share was $0.41. Adjusted earnings per share was $1.90, a decrease of 22 percent. Cash used for operating activities was $10.6 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $172.9 million in the prior year. Free cash flow was ($94.9) million compared to $49.2 million in the prior year. The Company updated its full-year fiscal 2026 financial outlook. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REMARKS "Our first quarter results exceeded our expectations and reflect the continued momentum of the business. Our teams demonstrated agility throughout the organization, and though the external environment continues to be dynamic we are successfully managing what we can control," said Mark Smucker, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board. "Our results reflect strong top-line growth, driven by consumer demand for our portfolio of leading brands, and bottom-line results that reflect disciplined cost management and execution." "Due to the better-than-expected first quarter results and sustained momentum for our portfolio of leading brands, we are raising our net sales expectations for the fiscal year. We remain focused on investing in our key growth platforms which will enable us to deliver long-term growth and increase shareholder value." FIRST QUARTER CONSOLIDATED RESULTS Three Months Ended July 31, 2025 2024 % Increase (Decrease) (Dollars and shares in millions, except per share data) Net sales $2,113.3 $2,125.1 (1) % Operating income $45.6 $349.5 (87) % Adjusted operating income 370.3 447.9 (17) % Net income (loss) per common share – assuming dilution ($0.41) $1.74 (124) % Adjusted earnings per share – assuming dilution 1.90 $2.44 (22) % Weighted-average shares outstanding – assuming dilution 106.6 106.5 — % Net Sales Net sales decreased $11.8 million, or 1 percent. Excluding $52.8 million of noncomparable net sales in the prior year related to divestitures and $0.2 million of unfavorable foreign currency exchange, net sales increased $41.2 million, or 2 percent. The increase in comparable net sales reflects a 6 percentage point increase from net price realization, primarily driven by higher net pricing for coffee, partially offset by lower net pricing for peanut butter. Comparable net sales also reflects a 4 percentage point decrease from volume/mix, primarily driven by decreases for coffee, dog snacks, sweet baked goods, and fruit spreads and lower contract manufacturing sales related to the divested pet food brands, partially offset by an increase for Uncrustables® sandwiches. Operating Income Gross profit decreased $322.5 million, or 40 percent. The decrease primarily reflects higher commodity costs, inclusive of the net unfavorable impact of derivative gains and losses, unfavorable volume/mix, and the noncomparable impact of divestitures, partially offset by higher net price realization. Operating income decreased $303.9 million, or 87 percent, primarily reflecting the decrease in gross profit, partially offset by a decrease in selling, distribution, and administrative ("SD&A") expenses and lower amortization expense. Adjusted gross profit decreased $89.3 million, or 11 percent. The difference between adjusted gross profit and generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") results primarily reflects the exclusion of the change in net cumulative unallocated derivative gains and losses and special project costs. Adjusted operating income, which further reflects the exclusion of amortization expense and other special project costs as compared to GAAP operating income, decreased $77.6 million, or 17 percent. Interest Expense and Income Taxes Net interest expense was comparable to the prior year. The effective income tax rate was 22.3 percent in the quarter, as compared to 24.8 percent in the prior year. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to the impact of a loss before income taxes in the current year, as compared to income before income taxes in the prior year. The adjusted effective income tax rate was 24.2 percent, compared to 24.6 percent in the prior year. Cash Flow and Debt Cash used for operating activities was $10.6 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $172.9 million in the prior year, primarily reflecting lower net income (loss) and the related impacts to income and other taxes, partially offset by less cash required to fund working capital requirements. Free cash flow was ($94.9) million, compared to $49.2 million in the prior year, reflecting the decrease in cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures as compared to the prior year. FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK The Company updated its full-year fiscal 2026 guidance, as summarized below. Current Previous Net sales increase vs. prior year 3.0% to 5.0% 2.0% to 4.0% Adjusted earnings per share $8.50 - $9.50 $8.50 - $9.50 Free cash flow (in millions) $975.0 $875.0 Capital expenditures (in millions) $325.0 $325.0 Adjusted effective income tax rate 23.8 % 23.7 % The Company continues to operate in a dynamic and evolving external environment, including tariffs and related trade impacts, regulatory and policy changes, ongoing input inflation, and changes in consumer behaviors that could impact its fiscal year 2026 outlook. This updated guidance reflects the Company's expectations based on its current understanding of these factors. Net sales are now expected to increase 3.0 to 5.0 percent, which includes an impact of $134.7 million related to the divestitures of the Voortman® business and certain Sweet Baked Snacks value brands. Comparable net sales are expected to increase approximately 4.5 to 6.5 percent, which excludes the noncomparable sales in the prior year related to the divestitures. The increase in comparable net sales reflects higher net price realization, partially offset by a decline in volume/mix. This guidance also reflects a decline of approximately $38.0 million of contract manufacturing sales related to the divested pet food brands, as the contract manufacturing agreement concluded at the end of fiscal year 2025. Adjusted earnings per share is expected to range from $8.50 to $9.50. This guidance reflects the increase in net sales, adjusted gross profit margin of approximately 35.0 to 35.5 percent, an increase of SD&A expenses of approximately 3.0 percent versus the prior year, interest expense of approximately $380.0 million, an adjusted effective income tax rate of 23.8 percent, and 106.9 million weighted-average common shares outstanding. Free cash flow is now expected to be approximately $975.0 million at the midpoint of our adjusted earnings per share guidance range, with capital expenditures of $325.0 million.

The Company believes that investors' understanding of its performance is enhanced by disclosing these performance measures. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures are used by management in preparation of the annual budget and for the monthly analyses of its operating results. The Board of Directors also utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures as components for measuring performance for incentive compensation purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain items affecting comparability that can significantly affect the year-over-year assessment of operating results, which include amortization expense and impairment charges related to intangible assets; certain divestiture, acquisition, integration, and restructuring costs ("special project costs"); gains and losses on divestitures; the net change in cumulative unallocated gains and losses on commodity and foreign currency exchange derivative activities ("change in net cumulative unallocated derivative gains and losses"); and other infrequently occurring items that do not directly reflect ongoing operating results. Income taxes, as adjusted is calculated using an adjusted effective income tax rate that is applied to adjusted income before income taxes and reflects the exclusion of the previously discussed items, as well as any adjustments for one-time tax-related activities, when they occur. While this adjusted effective income tax rate does not generally differ materially from the GAAP effective income tax rate, certain exclusions from non-GAAP results can significantly impact the adjusted effective income tax rate. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to replace the presentation of financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Rather, the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures supplements other metrics used by management to internally evaluate its businesses and facilitate the comparison of past and present operations and liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies and may exclude certain nondiscretionary expenses and cash payments. A reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measure for the current and prior year periods is included in the "Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures" tables. The Company has also provided a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures for its fiscal year 2026 outlook. The J.M. Smucker Co.
